SUMMARY:The Challenge Of Scaling Leadership & Culture As An Organisation Grows
DESCRIPTION:Breakfast Panel Event: Brought to you by ITS OXFORD. \nWhen companies are small\, it’s easy. Leaders are connected to each element of the business; keeping everyone aligned and motivated. But as companies grow\, great leadership becomes harder and harder to deliver. Company vision\, inspiring leadership and company culture must be planned and grown together to truly flourish. Scaling the key success drivers as you grow allows you to ‘cross each chasm’ and is ultimately what separates the great potentials from the world class. \nOur panel of experts will address the challenges at each level of your business journey and cover practical tips and tricks on how to avoid toxic culture in a scaling business. \nPanellists include: \n• Sharon Frost\, Global HR Director\, Oxford Pharmagenesis \n• Dr Petrina Carmody\, Chief Change Officer\, Great Place to Work (amongst many other things!) \n• Sharon Parker Lines\, Deputy Managing Director and SVP Business Operations\, Government and Regulatory Affairs\, Astroscale \n• Rob Pilkington\, CEO Ebbon Group \nModerated by Adam Pickford – Co-Founder\, Highlight People\, HR & People Development Services. Adam’s impressive prior experience includes Global Talent Engagement and Development Director\, Nielsen. \nLet’s take a closer look at what’s involved in developing leaders\, making communication happen\, and sustaining these as an organization grows. \n\nWhat’s important at any stage for leadership and work culture?\nWhen should developing new leaders be factored into your growth plan?\nWhat does good leadership look like?\nWho are the leaders learning from?\nHow do you foster positive leadership to build a positive work culture?\nHow do you transition from an 8 person team to a 500 person company with multi-building and plan for effective leadership?\n\nBreakfast will be provided and there will be ample opportunities to network with your peers. \n\nLOCATION\n140 Park Drive\, Milton\, England\, GB\, OX14 4SE \n

SUMMARY:Black History Month
DESCRIPTION:Black History Month is a momentous occasion to recognise and celebrate the invaluable contributions of black people to British society. It also serves as an opportunity to inspire and empower future generations. This year\, Black History Month will be dedicated to honouring the achievements of black women who are often forgotten\, heroines. We want to amplify their voices and challenge the systems that oppress them.\nBlack people have always been at the forefront of social justice movements\, fighting against oppression and paving the way for change. However\, despite their countless contributions to society\, the achievements of black women in particular\, have too often been overlooked or forgotten. That is why\, this year\, we will be celebrating the exceptional achievements of black women.\nThe theme of ‘Saluting our Sisters’ highlights the crucial role that black women have played in shaping history\, inspiring change\, and building communities. This year’s celebration will showcase pioneering black women who have made remarkable contributions to literature\, music\, fashion\, sport\, business\, politics\, academia\, social and health care\, and more.

SUMMARY:Digital Technology and the Natural Environment
DESCRIPTION:Digital Technology and the Natural Environment\n  \n\n\n\nSpeaker\nProf. Gordon S. Blair\, Head of Environmental Digital Strategy\, UKCEH. \nAgenda\n7:30pm – Presentation begins.\n9:00pm – Event ends. \nSynopsis\nContemporary digital technologies can make a profound impact on our understanding of the natural environment in moving toward sustainable futures. Examples of such technologies included sources of new data (e.g.\, an environmental Internet of Things)\, the ability to storage and process the large datasets that will result from this (e.g.\, through cloud computing)\, and the potential of data science and AI to make sense of these data alongside human experts. \nHowever\, these same trends pose a threat to sustainable futures through\, for example\, the carbon footprint of digital technology and the risks of this escalating through the very trends mentioned above. \nThis talk will explore this ‘tale of two cities’\, reflecting on my experiences of my work at UKCEH where I explore the role of digital innovation in supporting contemporary environmental science\, whilst also being aware of the potential negative impact of such technologies on the very environment we are seeking to understand and steer towards more sustainable futures. \nThe talk will conclude with thoughts on how these two perspectives can be reconciled in Digital Technology and the Natural Environment. \nAbout the speaker\nProf. Gordon Blair \nProf. Gordon Blair is Head of Environmental Digital Strategy at UKCEH. He is also a Distinguished Professor of Distributed Systems at Lancaster University where he holds a part-time post (20%). He is also Co-Director of the Centre of Excellence in Environmental Data Science (CEEDS)\, a joint initiative between UKCEH and Lancaster University. \nHis current research interests focus on the role of digital technology in supporting environmental science. This includes new forms of environmental monitoring and data acquisition\, including the role of Internet of Things technology\, new forms of computational infrastructure to support the storage and processing of such data\, specifically using cloud computing\, and new forms of analysing and making sense of this data using data science and AI. \nHe is particularly interested in the role of virtual labs in supporting this end-to-end pipeline and in enabling a new kind of science that is more open\, collaborative and integrative. Most recently\, through CEEDS\, he has become interested in the role of digital twins in supporting environmental science. \nThis all builds on a strong legacy of research in distributed systems\, having been involved since the inception of the field in the early 1980s. His core research in this area focused on the middleware architectures that underpin complex distributed systems applications and services\, including examination of key distributed properties such as interoperability and how these can be achieved in the complex and dynamic distributed systems of today. \nOur events are for adults aged 16 years and over. \nBCS is a membership organisation. If you enjoy this event\, please consider joining BCS. You’ll be very welcome. You’ll receive access to many exclusive career development tools\, an introduction to a thriving professional community and also help us Make IT Good For Society. Join BCS today \nFor overseas delegates who wish to attend the event\, please note that BCS does not issue invitation letters. \nCOVID-19 \nBCS is following government guidelines and we would ask attendees to continue to also follow these guidelines.

SUMMARY:Unpacking the Paradox of the Perfection Trap
DESCRIPTION:Unpacking the Paradox of the Perfection Trap with speaker Thomas Curran. \nWe live in a society that continually broadcasts the need to want more\, from our personal to our working lives\, it incessantly promotes this idea of desire. And the way we achieve this goal? We must be perfect. \nWe’re also witnessing an alarming surge in burnout and depression. These record levels are caused by this perpetual strive for perfection\, we are stuck in a trap – but how can we escape it? \nJoin Thomas Curran as he explores the Paradox of the Perfection on everything from performance to social and financial inequality. He shows what we can do as individuals to resist the modern-day pressure to be perfect. \nDiscover what you need to prioritise\, meet the world where it is and strive for purpose instead of more by embracing the power of ‘good enough’ in your life. \nCopies of Thomas’ latest book ‘The Perfection Trap: The Power of Good Enough in a World That Always Wants More’ will be available to purchase from Amazon and all good bookstores. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent type\nThis is a livestream event where the speaker and audience come together online. \nYou will have priority access to the recorded video for two weeks after the event has taken place. \nAbout Thomas Curran \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThomas Curran is a British Psychological Society chartered social psychologist\, and Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychological and Behavioural Sciences at the London School of Economics and Political Science. His primary area of expertise is the personality characteristic of perfectionism\, how it develops\, and how it impacts mental health. His most notable work is the theory of cultural influences on perfectionism\, which rose to especial prominence following a 2017 publication of the first systems-level cohort study to show that perfectionism is on the rise in American\, Canadian\, and British college students. \nHe is the author of over 30 published papers and book chapters on related topics and he has received numerous awards for his scholarship and research. Informed by his research and expertise in data analysis\, he has previously lectured to undergraduates in the UK and Australia. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTiming for the livestream\nThe live stream will go live at 6.55pm\, and the introduction will begin at 7.00pm.

OxPropFest has become one of the largest property dinners outside London with many excellent reviews. \n\nCarbon Footprint\nIn the design and implementation of the awards\, we will strive to reduce the carbon footprint of this event. For example\, the decision on the location of the venue is in close proximity to public transport stations\, the use of digital ticketing in all aspects of event management\, the limited use of paper where possible\, the provenance of the food served and the design of the awards\, which will be made of recycled or sustainable materials. As the event approaches\, we will incorporate initiatives into the event.

SUMMARY:World Humanitarians Day
DESCRIPTION:World Humanitarians Day \nWhat is the history? \nOn 19 August 2003\, a bomb attack on the Canal Hotel in Baghdad\, Iraq\, killed 22 humanitarian aid workers\, including the UN Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Iraq\, Sergio Vieira de Mello. Five years later\, the General Assembly adopted a resolution designating 19 August as World Humanitarian Day (WHD). \nEach year\, WHD focuses on a theme\, bringing together partners from across the humanitarian system to advocate for the survival\, well-being\, and dignity of people affected by crises\, and for the safety and security of aid workers. \nWHD is a campaign by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) and humanitarian partners. \nWhat is the Theme for 2023? \nThis year\, our World Humanitarians Day campaign brings together the global humanitarian community to mark the twentieth anniversary of the attack on the UN headquarters in Baghdad\, Iraq. This shows our unwavering commitment to deliver for the communities we serve\, no matter who\, no matter where and #NoMatterWhat. \nHumanitarians have no other purpose than to save and protect lives and deliver the basic necessities of life\, they stand shoulder to shoulder with the communities they serve and bring hope. \nOn 19 August\, we come together to honour humanitarians around the world who strive to meet ever-growing global needs. No matter the danger or the hardship\, humanitarians venture deep into disaster-stricken regions and on the front lines of conflict\, strive to save and protect people in need.
